Might it then not make more sense to call those something like
ti,omap2-sysc and ti,omap4-sysc respectively?

Ah... three "foreign" modules with an idlemode carelessly thrown into a
register without care for existing layouts. I think these are more just
exceptional cases which happen to agree by coincidence since they all
just added idlemode in the simplest way possible, but I can understand
how it came to be viewed as a standard type.

ISS has a 32-bit configuration interconnect and a 64/128-bit data
interconnect:
.......................................
: ISS :
: :
L3 --:--> configuration interconnect <-------:-- Cortex-M3/M4 subsystem
: |||||||||| | | :
: vvvvvvvvvv | | :
: submodules | '---. :
: |||||||| | | :
: vvvvvvvv v v :
: data interconnect --> BTE --> CBUFF --:--> L3
'.......................................'
It also has a local prcm controller to manage all this, and an irq
combiner. See the section "ISS Power Management" (8.1.2.4 in the public
omap5 TRM, SWPU249AF) for a better diagram of all this. The various
versions of ISS differ somewhat in the submodules but all share the same
overall structure.
One of the ISS submodules, SIMCOP, is itself again a fairly complicated
subsystem with two local interconnects, of which you can find a block
diagram in the "ISS Still Image Coprocessor" chapter (8.4).
Having a local interconnect is itself not a particularly rare thing (you
can find one in ABE, DSS, CPSW, PRUSS, PWMSS, etc), but ISS does have
unusual complexity with its multiple interconnects and nested subsystems.
